About the Artist

A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Edward Farber's paintings have been included in numerous exhibits at the St. Louis Artists Guild and elsewhere and hang in private collections. One of his paintings, prize-winning Grandpa's Back Porch (shown here) was selected by the Missouri Governer's Conference on aging as the conference poster and was reproduced for the cover of the State's handbook on aging.

His paintings of city neighborhoods evoke a sense of familiarity in viewers who spent their youth on the sidewalks and back alleys of midwestern or northeastern cities.

"It's popular today to be nostalgic about life in the country, but I am city-bred and love the sights and sounds of a city. I'm especially fond of quiet, older neighborhoods that remind me of my own growing-up"

Once an abstractionist, he has evolved to a more traditional style. "I use a realistic approach, but I am not a slave to realism. Sometimes, my admiration for the impressionists peaks through, but all my work is colored by my own imagination, emotions and experience."
